French pleat drapes provide custom elegance and sophistication. Pinch pleat drapes are hand-pleated, pre-pinned and ready for installation. These custom drapes can easily be dressed up or down depending on how you choose to hang them. You may select an ornate rod with rings and hang the drapes on rings by the set drapery pin hooks or you can also hang them on the carriers of a standard traverse rod. You can also hang them with pin hooks on traverse rods. The French pleat style adds a traditional look to a living room, dining room, family room or den.

Measure the Area You Wish to Cover

Rod Face - Measure the width of your drapery rod, not including finials
ORCoverage Area - Measure the width of the area you want to cover. If ordering pleated drapery, consider adding 4" - 6" on either side of your opening to maximize natural light and provide the best finished look.

Note: We have made allowances for fullness, returns and overlaps as needed to ensure a beautiful finished look.

If ordering drapery that does not need to close (stationary), consider ordering a drapery with less coverage.

How to Measure Length for French Pleat Drapes

Typically, pleated drapes are used with drapery rings or a traverse rod. This style comes standard with drapery hooks set in the back of the panel for installation purposes. To get an accurate measurement, you'll need to know which hardware you will use before measuring for your drapery length. Refer to the drapery measuring diagram on this page.

Decorative Traverse Rod: Measure from the bottom of the rings to the floor. Pleats will hook into the rings and the decorative drapery rod will be seen. (as shown in photo)

Standard Traverse Rod: Measure from the top of the drapery rod, to the floor. Pleats will hook into carriers that are not seen, and the pleats will cover the drapery rod.

Drapery ReturnThe return is the measurement from the front of your drapery rod to the wall. Measure the depth of your hardware brackets to determine your required drapery return.Note: A 3.5" return is most common.
